6 Printing

This chapter describes the printing options available to you from AutoVue for Agile.

6.1 Printing Documents from within AutoVue for Agile

For detailed information about printing attachments from the business object Attachments tab, see the Getting Started with Agile PLM manual, ”Working with Attachments”.

For detailed information about printing attachments from the file folder object Files tab, see the Getting Started with Agile PLM manual, ”Working with File Folders”.

For detailed information about printing from the viewer, see the viewer Online Help. To view Online Help, choose Help > Content in the viewer menu bar.

For information about how the Agile administrator can customize the AutoVue for Agile print options, see "AutoVue for Agile Administration Tasks."

The following sections describe print features that have been modified to integrate AutoVue with the Agile system.

6.2 Headers/Footers Group in Print Properties

This group defines the headers and footers to be included on every printed page of the document.

Note:

These settings are maintained and modified by your Agile administrator.

To view the header and footer settings:

Select the Headers/Footers tab.

A literal percentage mark is indicated by %%. Other codes are as follows:

%f = full path of document (for example, D:\PICS\TIFF\CTROK.TIF)
%v = document drive
%d = document directory (for example, D:\PICS\TIFF)
%b = document base name (for example, CTROK)
%e = document file extension (for example, TIF)
%n = total number of document pages
%p = current page number
%N = total number of tiled pages
%P = current tile number
%r = newline
%F = Excel native print settings
%Y = date: year
%M = date: month
%D = date: day
%W = date: day of week
%H = time: hour
%U = time: minute
%S = time: second

6.3 Watermarks and Banners in Print Properties

The Print Properties dialog box includes a Watermark tab. This tab cannot be modified in the AutoVue for Agile Print Properties dialog box.

Watermark and Banner settings are defined and maintained in Agile Administrator. The Agile Administrator watermark and banner settings determine if banners and watermarks appear on printouts of files attached to Agile objects and the content of those banners and watermarks. These banners and watermarks appear on files printed with AutoVue for Agile.

Watermarks on attachments are inserted under the file. Therefore, file types that are in "solid" formats (e.g. PDF, BMP) will not show the watermark. It will show only on "transparent" file types (for example, CAD).

6.3.1 Watermarks

A faint and transparent watermark appears on the current document's contents.

Note:

For high resolution black and white printing, the transparent watermark is printed on the current document's contents. For low resolution black and white printing, the watermark is printed on the current document's contents, but it is not transparent.

The watermark settings are maintained and modified by your Agile administrator; see the Agile PLM Administrator Guide. For more information, see Viewer Administration Tasks.

6.4 Stamps Group in Print Properties

This feature is not available in this implementation of AutoVue for Agile.

6.5 Printing DGN Files

AutoVue for Agile can be configured to print files with a DGN extension in the same manner as MicroStation. This option must be configured on the server side; please contact your Agile system administrator for assistance.
